Technical Abstract

In an approach for classifying and storing multiple layers of a file system as platform-dependent and platform-independent layers, a processor generates an initial layer of a file system. The initial layer is a platform-dependent base layer. A processor assigns one or more files associated with the initial layer with a first group identification as a first same group in a file registry for a plurality of platforms. A processor generates a new layer based on the initial layer into the file system. A processor, in response to the new layer being platform-independent, marks the new layer as platform-independent in the file registry. A processor pushes the new layer into the file registry for one of the plurality of platforms. A processor distributes one or more corresponding files from the file registry per a client request to access the file system.
